HIGHWAY:
The Superintendent said they have been very busy. He announced that the paving is finished. There was an accident with one of the mowers. Someone hit the mower while it was in operation. The driver of the mower is ok but the mower needs repairs as the frame is tweaked. He is waiting on the insurance company.

The Highway Superintendent has requested to purchase a new pickup truck. He said all he needs is a basic truck mostly to transport the men to and from the mowers so they don’t have to drive the mowers back and forth every day. This would save ware and tear on the mowers and allow more mowing to get done every day. He said he does not need a plow for the truck.

A motion was entertained by Councilman Lamb and seconded by Councilwoman Whitham to authorize to go out for sealed bid for a basic pickup truck for the highway department. Bid will be due to the Town Clerk on or before 3:00pm on Wednesday August 4, 2021. Motion carried

SEALED BIDS: SERVER CABINET
The town no longer has a need for the old server cabinet. The Grace Lutheran Church is interested in it.

There was discussion among the board members if it should be given away or put out to bid.

A motion was entertained by Councilman Davis and seconded by Councilwoman Whitham to advertise for sealed bids on the server cabinet. Bids are due to the Town Clerk on or before 3:00pm on Wednesday August 4, 2021. All proceeds will be put into the North Bay Veterans Memorial Park. Motion carried.
